Pretty lazy day

I've been starting my day progressively later and later as my summer has worn on.  I hope to change this so I can get more done during the day.  Today I decided to put Werther in his harness and take him to the backyard for the first time.  I was going to take pictures but after lugging him and the camera outside, the battery was dead.  Maybe next time.  He seemed to like it, he hopped around on the grass and in the planter.  He ate some weeds, but he didn't figure out that he could dig in the planter, which is something I'm sure will make outside more fun for him.  Digging is his favorite activity.  But after a while he got tired of the harness and tried to pull it off, signaling the end of outside time haha.  I wish we could just let him roam around, but I know he'd sneak through some tiny hole and be gone forever.  I love him so much, he's just the sweetest little man, and I don't think anything has ever been so dependent on me for protection.  When I was carrying him outside, he hid his face under my chin.  I've never met such a sweet rabbit, and especially not one who was constantly ready for affection like him.  
After that I took Harlock to the park, and then went to Michael's.  A few years ago I got really into embroidery using Sublime Stitching patterns.  I did all kinds of projects, including my favorite, a pair of Mexican wrestler underwear haha.  I haven't done it in a while, but I went on the website and they have so many cute patterns I decided to order some.  I got the Black Apple artists' edition, and they're so cute!  I also got two pillow cases for the living room.  I'm working on the first one, it has two rows of houses with some trees in between.  I'll post some pictures when I'm done.  I think the other one is going to have animals on it.  I've also decided that it would be fun to embroider on some scraps of fabric, and just hang the embroidery hoops on the kitchen wall.  I'm really glad to have some projects to work on, it's been a while since I've done anything crafty except make necklaces.  I also got Jason his first Spooky Town additions of the year.  When we lived in Austin, he would make me go to Garden Ridge every year in July when they got in the Halloween decorations, since it's his favorite holiday.  And since he's so sad that it's warm and summery, I thought some Spooky Town might make him happy haha.  He also has some from Megan and my mom from Christmas that we've never put up. We're still trying to rebuild the town from when he lost most of it during a move.  I got him Death riding a horse, and, my personal favorite, "Cowboy Gravesite".  It has cowboy boots sticking up out of the ground with a tombstone that reads " Here lies one mean varmint".  I couldn't resist, it was too funny haha.  One day I would like to get him one of the really big crazy ones that lights up and makes noise.  Maybe for our anniversary...
